Renowned Kenyan pastor Rev Lucy Natasha has sparked a debate online with her unique tattoo choices. While some have criticized her ink, Natasha insists that the true meaning behind a tattoo lies in its intention and purpose.
Natasha’s most well-known tattoo is the “Oracle” symbol on her arm, which she says represents her prophetic calling.
“It’s a reminder of my journey after God called me to be a voice to the people,” she explained in an interview with Dr. Ofweneke.
The pastor has faced criticism from those who cite biblical references, particularly Leviticus, to condemn tattoos. However, Natasha argues that these interpretations are often taken out of context.
“The book of Leviticus was referring to a time when people were worshiping false gods like Baal, and cutting themselves as a form of worship,” she clarified.
Natasha emphasized that God looks at the heart, not the appearance.
“What matters is the motive behind the tattoo. If it’s clear and inspiring, it shouldn’t be considered evil or unclean,” she stated.
The pastor’s defense of her tattoo choices has ignited a wider conversation about body art and religious beliefs in Kenya.
